Doncaster Rovers complete signing of Manchester City goalkeeper

Doncaster Rovers have completed the signing of Manchester City goalkeeper Ian Lawlor after a loan deal at Bury.

The 22-year-old Irishman had been at Manchester City for 6 years after joining back in 2010 however didn’t make a senior appearance for the club.

Speaking to the Doncaster Rovers website, Ian Lawlor said:

“I’m delighted to be here, I’m looking forward to progressing and getting involved with the lads.

“I spoke with the manager and saw the ambition of the club, obviously we’re on a great run at the moment but to see the future is something I want to be a part of.

“The facilities are really good. The stadium is fantastic for a League Two club, but the project going forward is really special.

“It’s nice to have the feeling that they want me to come in on a permanent basis. But there is nothing guaranteed in football, so I’m ready for a battle. I’ll work hard every day and, if selected come the weekend, will give everything I have.

“In the short-term I’m hoping to get in and play, but the aim is to get promoted out of this league. I’m here to give as much as I can for this team.”
